  • Women's Health. The Office on Women's Health will be asked to launch an educational campaign, "Powerful Bones, Powerful Girls," for young women (ages 9-12) about the importance of bone health and osteoporosis prevention.
  • Aging and Seniors. The AAOS Act supports an education campaign on musculoskeletal disease targeting the public and health professionals and would encourage states to develop or expand activity programs for seniors.
  • Pediatrics. The Surgeon General will be required to report to Congress on the incidence of childhood musculoskeletal diseases and barriers to accessing orthopaedic care for children within two years.
  • Workforce and Training. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will be requested to conduct a study on graduate medical education and the impact of funding on the availability of specialty physicians.
  • Quality and Safety.
